No I could in for example Australian official , although there are more I am a 100% sure the Australians don't drop the "a" for no reason. Shrimp on the barby! Common Australian stereotype  They likes to do a lot of things without explanation, do you know what is RAG? |

People with a heavy Southern Drawl (like some Texans) can blend their words together, in massive contraction, so "we haven't" may be contracted to "we ain't", and even the first e can be dropped, creating a 1-syllable word |

No I could in for example Australian official , although there are more , is there any truth to that? I don't even understand what he's trying to say. Also, Napoleon Bonaparte a interesting fact, we don't even call "shrimps" "shrimps" we call them prawns. We do, however call BBQs Barbies sometimes. |

We use a fair bit of slang and generally speak more informally than most other English speaking countries but we don't do anything like dropping the a. I have no idea where he has gotten that from. |

Richard said he once talked to a Texan, this guy immediately copied Richard saying he met a Texan too |

Standard American English still usually expect an A in that sentence (although it's possible to get away with a minor omission, not in the classroom, of course). Which standard? As much as I know south basically just kills anything you can call standard... The Standard American English. The southeast does NOT have a proper standard of any language whatsoever in my experience. I should know after all I've suffered 5 years in the GA/TN border area and now almost 1 year in Northwest Florida. |

"suffered"  But seriously, sometimes (even if you're watching a southern guy on YouTube) their language sometimes does become indecipherable. |

Richard said he once talked to a Texan, this guy immediately copied Richard saying he met a Texan too I'm fairly sure at this point it's becoming clearer and clearer that my intuition was correct, this guy wanted to dodge a nitpicking against his words (which is rather hypocritical since he was nitpicking everyone else's posts). Two wise quotes that would apply in this situation.... "You can dish it out, but you can't take it." "If you can't handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen." |
